    I have some low top covers. I'll look and see if one is good enough for you. I'm going to cut one up for a velocity stack.

    Custer,

    It appears to be in decent shape, other than the aforementioned problems.

    Have you tried repairing it?

    A thorough cleaning, and I think that crack could be fixed with a Krazy Glue, or Loc Tite Cyanoacrylate type adhesive.
    A Heat Gun will help in hiding the crack, and will also help remove the etched numbers.

    Just a thought.

    I can't help you out if that's what you're replacing. None of mine are that nice I know. They're all faded a bit also.

    I believe the low tops are available new still. If I'm thinking right! If you want to get rid of that one after finding another. I would be interested.

    Haha the pic makes it look a lot better than it is. Thanks for the ideas jonathan, i havent tried fixing it but that may be what im gonna do. The fading is ok with me, matches the rest of the saw, but the crack is a bummer and bigger than it looks in the pic. Ill give that a try, thanks for the replys dudes. And if i come up with a nicer one ill get ahold of you toad.

    I'm gonna be doing the same as Mike said with it. So the crack would be in a perfect spot. I'll keep my eyes open also for one also.
